As I have said before, I am a total sucker for a good teeny bopper movie. I still cry every time I watch the Melissa Joan Hart movie Drive Me Crazy! LOL So, a few years back, I was absolutely esctatic to have stumbled upon the filming of the Hilary Duff movie A Cinderella Story while driving in Altadena. I stopped to watch them film for a bit and got to see Hil-D from afar while she was rehearsing some scenes. Very cool! 🙂
Anyway, the movie is about a girl who lives a real life, modern day version of the Cinderella fairy tale. It is not too hard to see why producers chose the house for the movie, as it looks straight out of a fairy tale! With its thatched roof and quaint feel, it literally looks like it was ripped right out of the pages Hansel and Gretel and placed on Calaveras Street. When the movie came out, of course, I dragged my boyfriend right out to see it. It was absolutely adorable, and I was super excited to see the house featured many times throughout the movie. 🙂
Until next time, Happy Stalking! 🙂
Stalk It: The Cinderella Story house is located at 1272 Calaveras Drive in Altadena, not too far from the 90210 houses.
The high school used was Monrovia High. They used the courtyard and interior as well as the front steps, I believe.
LOVE this movie too…..I just saw it again on cable last month! Boy, do I have a dream location list when I make it back to LA again!
